Educator's Review: In Drawfender players defend a man from attack by drawing blocks of wood around him. Each level has a different configuration of defences and different placement of cannons, so players have to figure out where to place the wood board and what shape it needs to be. This game builds visual spatial skills, as well as the ability to see the consequences of the physical motion of the cannon balls.
Please Note: This game requires strong spatial skills, which may take some players longer to develop. While there is a link to a video walkthrough so you can view solutions, there is no hint system in the game if players get stuck and want help figuring a level out.
